manufacturing or mining business in

TINT SPECIAL 1GENr


y few weeks since, Clark s. Rowe. n
special agent Of the general land office.
appeared here with list of emp
ton claims on which the issuance of
patents had been suspended 10y the
general land Office. Several of these
claims had been proved up years ago,
and the original claimants had CON-
piled with the laws, as best they could.
and, in several cases, they were still
living ON their land. In other cases
the land had been sold immediately af-
ter final proof, and the original entry
men had left the country.
MIR. Rowe came here, as he stated nj
the time of his visit, To look at the land
on which patents had been suspended.
TO meet the owner or original claim
ants, aud to give all parties interested
the opportunity of making any state
ments they might desire that would re-
move the cloud from their titles and
hasten the issuance of the patents.
In several eases, Mr.. Rowe took the
statements of interested parties, and i'm
other instances he was met with a re-
tusalto make statements or the parties
/ considered him officiOus aud went away
out of humor with him, with the land
Office and the government, generally.
We have, since his visit. been request
ed 10y several of our friends TO give
him sheol;" but we could not see
that such course would do any good.
Certainly TRADE of abuse would not
make Mr.. Rowe any more friendly to
our people. and it would not probably
hasten the issuance of withheld pat
ents. We have, at all times. counsel
ed strict compliance with the laws
and the regulations Of the general and
local land Offices, and in the end we be-
lieve that this course viii prove profit
able to all concerned.
Our neighber, the Cresset, the repub-
hcan newspaper of this city, did make
an attack on Special Agent Rowe, in
its issue of the Sd inst. In the Larned
Eagle-O Optic, of last week, is a defense
of Mr.. Rowe, which we produce here
with, for the information of parties in
terested in this discussion. After
copying the Cresset article, the Eagle
Optic says:
THE Cresset seems to be impressed
with the idea that the duties OF q spec
ial agent Are 20 80 about the country
